Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait by Al-Abdulmuhsen, Shaikhah A. N.

“…Moreover, with increasing fines, the compressibility increased as demonstrated by the larger values of Cc at all degrees of relative compaction except at 100% and that the coefficient of consolidation Cv decreased with increasing fines, which means that as the fines increase the time required to achieve a certain degree of consolidation will also increase.…”
